Bacon & Egg Brunch Cups

If you’ve been visiting this blog for awhile now, you’ve probably started to pick up on some of my favorite things (cookies, peanut butter, comfort food, etc.) and should know by now that I am a HUGE fan of breakfast foods, especially all variations of bacon & eggs.

Bacon & Egg Brunch Cups (while delicious any time of day or day of the week) are one of my favorites to include in brunch, mostly because of how quick and easy they are to make, leaving me more time to enjoy my mimosas.

Another benefit of this dish is that it’s basically a blank canvas for you to make your own. I like to add onion and bell pepper to mine, but asparagus spears, jalapeno slices, broccoli, tomato, etc. would all be great additions or substitutions. Additionally, I encourage you all to explore seasoning these beyond salt & pepper. Throw in some red pepper flakes, or maybe some paprika! Top with hollendaise, salsa, hot sauce, ketchup! As you can see, the possibilities are endless – this recipe lays the groundwork for your cooking creativity… be adventurous!

I’d love to hear what type of creative combinations you make with these cups – leave a comment or drop a note on the Weekend Baker Blog’s Facebook page!
